AMLE Review Process

The editor will screen all manuscripts submitted to the Research & Reviews and Essays, Dialogues, & Interviews sections. In some cases, a manuscript may be returned without peer review if it is judged to be inappropriate for publication in AMLE.
Manuscripts that are egregiously deficient in grammar, spelling, and
punctuation also may be returned without review. Manuscripts judged to
be consistent with the mission and standards of AMLE will be
submitted for double-blind review to at least two referees as dictated
by content-one referee is always an Editorial Board member. Senior
authors can expect to receive first-round feedback via email in
approximately 75 days, moderated by the editor or an associate editor.

Manuscripts will be evaluated by referees on the following criteria
(criteria will be selectively applied, based on the nature and type of
the manuscript):

originality and importance of core ideas

quality of treatment of the relevant existing literature

quality of the presentation of ideas

design and execution of research methodology (if appropriate)

overall contribution of the article to the advancement of management education

Authors are encouraged to solicit feedback from colleagues on early
drafts. A manuscript can be improved dramatically when knowledgeable
reviewers are asked for reactions in advance of submission. Manuscripts
are considered with the understanding that their contents have not been
published and are not under consideration elsewhere. Presentation of a
paper at a professional meeting does not disqualify it from
consideration.
